Custom software for GPS surveying and recording

Apglos builds custom software for people who work outdoors. With GPS and precise positioning, your crew records what happens on site: surveying, recording and checking, to the centimetre. That geodata flows straight into your GIS, BIM or any other file format you need, so the geoinformation in the office is always right.

What it delivers
Save timeSurvey and record in one step. No retyping and no duplicate work.
Work more efficientlyYour crew works with one custom app. The geodata is in the office straight away.
Improve qualityCentimetre-accurate positioning and fixed input fields, so the data is complete and correct.
Reduce failure costsFewer errors, less damage and rework, because everyone works with the same up-to-date data.

From challenges in the field to smart positioning software

Every project follows the same four steps. Together we discover where things get stuck in the field, design the workflow, develop the software on our own platform and deliver the roll-out in your organisation.

Step 1
Discover
Intake and field analysis with your site staff. We map the current workflow, the bottlenecks and the data you need.Outcome: a clear overview of requirements and goals.
Step 2
Design
We turn the analysis into a functional design: input fields, roles and rights, GIS or BIM integrations and the export format.Outcome: design and planning for approval.
Step 3
Develop
We build the solution on our proven platform in short, clear phases. A first version is tested with your crew in practice.Outcome: a tested, working app.
Step 4
Deliver
Phased roll-out, training of your staff and go-live of the integrations. After that we take care of maintenance, updates and support.Outcome: a workflow that runs for the long term.

Sewerage
Recording gullies while cleaning
Sewer Pilot records every gully with position and condition, on foot with the pole or from the gully sucker.

Find out where your field work can improve
Together we look at your current workflow and show where time, errors and duplicate work can be saved. You get honest advice straight away.

What it delivers

Save time

Your team measures the position and enters the data in the same place. No notebook, no matching photos afterwards and no retyping in the office.

  • No duplicate entry
  • No waiting for a surveyor
  • Data available straight away

Work more efficiently

The geodata lands straight in your system, in the format you need: GIS, BIM, DXF or CSV. Project managers see progress without picking up the phone.

  • One app for the whole crew
  • Instant insight into progress
  • Integration with your own systems

Improve quality

Fixed pick lists and mandatory fields make sure every worker records the same way. Incomplete records are stopped in the field.

  • Consistent recording
  • Mandatory fields before saving
  • Photo and position for every point

Reduce failure costs

A wrong or incomplete record means going back to site, a rejected as-built or damage during the next excavation. Getting it right first time avoids those costs.

  • Fewer return visits
  • Fewer rejected as-builts
  • Less excavation damage thanks to correct locations
